Worms In Cattle In Western Australia's South West, G C De Chaneet

In the early 1970s, when beef cattle numbers increased in the South West, worms came to be recognised as the cause of one of the most significant health problems affecting production. The disease ostertagiosis, caused by the brown stomach worm, Ostertagia ostertagi, started to occur regularly, but the anthelmintics available at the time were limited in their efficiency against the parasite. Because little was known of the epidemiology of ostertagiosis under local conditions, recommendations for control were based on observations made elsewhere in Australia and overseas. These were unsuited to local conditions and did not provide adequate control.

A fortunate coincidence, discovered recently, has provided annual ryegrass toxicity researchers with valuable knowledge which may help them understand how the ARGT toxins affect animals, and further their investigations into vaccine development. A toxic antibiotic, identified years ago, has proved to be closely related to the ARGT toxins. Antibiotics are generally regarded as effective agents for the control of many bacterial and fungal infections. However, some of them are toxic to both the bacteria and the host, whether man or animal.
